In the run up to the UN Climate Summit in New York in September, the ILO is asking government leaders to commit to taking action, to ensure that the transition to greener economies benefits people and planet.

Increasing investment in the rural economy is an important target of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A project in Timor Leste is an example of how the ILO is helping the country meet its rural development objectives.

Programmes and results

The ILO has integrated many of its existing technical projects into five flagship programmes, designed to enhance the efficency and impact of its development cooperation with constituents on a global scale.
